Sawti Disclaimer: It has come to Sawti’s attention that Taqaddom is in the process of forming an alliance with the Kataeb party as part of its electoral strategy for the 2022 parliamentary elections. Although Taqaddom itself has not violated our criteria, it has partnered with a party which does — with particular emphasis on the latter’s sectarian nature and participation in the civil war. Despite Kataeb attempting to rebrand itself recently and represent the core values and principles of the Oct 17 uprisings, its history, as a key component of the ruling class and benefiting from it all the same, continues to cast a shadow of doubt. Understanding that history is crucial in making informed decisions. That choice remains in your hands - you are strongly encouraged to critically reflect on the available alternatives and endorse an option which makes the most sense for you.
